Owen,I have to tell you; I found someone saying in a thread that if you take some doses of nasal drops made w/ VC it would help. Boy, did it burn-but you know what? It worked! 20 minutes I felt better.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to 1 teaspoon of ascorbic acid in a few ounces of water. This is close enough to sodium ascorbate to get the job done. Wait until the fizzing stops. (The exact proportions to make sodium ascorbate require a gram scale.)

I think Pauling mentions the nasal application on p. 31 of HTLLAFB?
